No one has ever accused me of being high maintenance.  

I do consider it a treat to have my nails done but I can give myself a manicure/pedicure easily enough and since I get charged the same when I confound the staff by insisting "no polish" nail salons do not make it anywhere on my list of essential services.

I need a haircut though.

There is no way I am going to take scissors to my own hair as the results would be something like this:

Parents share funny photos of kids who cut their own hair | Daily ...Google image that captures it!

I miss Joseph, who does cuts my hair and sings while he does it. I miss my short and shorter hair.



Yeah, I need a haircut . . . or at least a comb!

    Olga, you made me laugh. My hair looks similar to yours. DH cuts the length for me, but the rest just lays there with no shape. However, I just can't bring myself to get a haircut - yet.
    As for my nails, I keep them relatively short for my pottery. Had nails done at a salon once for my daughter's wedding in 2000 and ended up with a slight cuticle infection - never again.

    I don't cut my own hair, either, though I did when I was single and poor. I like my hair one length to cover my bald spots.

    Oh, you are not alone! I have actually trimmed my own hair around my face a couple of times, and soon I may look like I have a bowl cut, but there is no way I can cut the back or layer cut it. The grow out has been interesting.

    Not entirely. That it about a year's worth of difference although I was letting it grow out some I was getting regular trims until the last one in early January. I pull it back in a ponytail most of the time because it it so hot on my nick.

    I would do a pony tail--I'm just not long enough for that yet. I am so close this weekend of taking the scissors to my hair. I figure what I mess up I can hide with a perm--yes also self inflicted. Pray for me.

    My hair looked very much like yours until mid-afternoon today. I took a chance and masked up went to the hair salon for a cut. There are no active cases in my city...at least reported...so I thought it was a risk worth taking. I feel human now.

    Take care and stay well!

    Mine was the longest it's been since I was in my 30's. I couldn't stand it anymore and went 2 weeks ago to the salon. My stylist came in early on a Monday, and I was the only customer there. It felt wonderful to have it out of my face! Glad you got back to VT safely.

    Wow. Your hair really has grown. I was using the Grand Girls' hair do-dads until I was able to get a trim a couple of weeks ago. My hair is just the right length now and I hate to think how long it will be before I can get another haircut. I love getting out of the shower with wet hair, hitting it with the towel and then running out the door. I think it is going to be a long, hot summer for me and my hair.

    So weird. I just wrote a comment and it disappeared. Hmmmm...
    I was just saying I really love your shorter haircut. I like my hair short too. However, I think you look great with a longer length too.Granted a comb would help. LOL

 On September 29, I had the closing on my condo. Everything that was not going to the buyers was out and packed in the ABF moving truck which had by the been taken over to the storage units. Don thought it would take him until Wednesday to finish packing the truck with the help of his son. It took him until late Thursday with Chris' help and mine. Kevin was supposed to help load as well but he was in a mountain bike accident and wrecked his shoulder the week before. That added driving him to doctor appointments to my to do list and dong some shopping for him plus jobs around the house that might need two functioning upper limbs.  We stayed with Kevin on Friday night after the closing and then had a suite in an extended stay place for the coming week. This was the worst possible time to have to get a room because the prices balloon during leaf peeping season if you can even find a room at all. But it was close to the storage units where we were working and it was dog friendly. We ju

Wedding

 Don and I drove to South Carolina to attend the wedding of my step-grandson, Will. Will Will and Katie The wedding took place on Dataw Island, a beautiful outdoor ceremony followed by a reception in the country club. We stayed in a tiny cottage in the historic center of Beaufort, rented from Vrbo. Since the wedding was at 5 p.m., we had time to explore the area a bit. I really like the low country scenery and historical charm. Sitting quietly in the curtained gazebo I was visited by multiple cardinals. They came to visit the feeder, not me, but I can always pretend! How I will always remember Will!

Rest In Peace

 In a summer that has been so wet, Sunday was a reprieve. The humidity dropped and the sun came out. It was a day that could have been special ordered by the family of a friend's husband. It was the day they had arranged his celebration of life ceremony set on the shore of Lake Champlain. I was not looking forward to the gathering, even couched as a celebration. This is a family fraught with relationship tensions. It turned out to be a beautiful day and a beautiful ceremony. A Catholic priest gave a brief but meaningful homily and two Air Force members played "Taps" and presented the American flag to my friend. I am not a Christian, but I do know about Christ Consciousness. That priest's word's filled me with such a sense of peace and love. I hope it did the same for the family members and neighbors who attended.
